Just wondering what everyone put on their chain? wax or lube and which brand people like the best 0 I like the white wax on the chain from new but what is it ??

I use castrol for lubing it as it turns white when putting it on (so i can see what ive already done haha)

I like WD40 chain cleaner as it doesn't require any scrubbing. Just wash off after two or three mins and the chain is clean.

Im sure everyone has different opinions on the matter though

Maxima chain wax is my favourite lately. Nice and clean.

I use Silkolene lube. I'm not a fan of wax as it retains grit better and I want to see a shiny chain not one that's gunked up. I use cheap as chips maintenance spray (fake WD40?) to clean the chain with a chain brush. I love cleaning chains.

I'm not having a pop at people who use wax this is my preference and reason why.

I received Motul Chain Lube when I got the bike, but I prefer the BelRay which I used before

Motul Chain Lube

using this meself at the mo' on the GSX & Bandit, no probs and virtually no fling, you don't need to plaster it on.

Oh no, this is like an oil question, fifty replies, fifty different opinions, lol.

Personally, and I'm right and everyone else is wrong :laugh:, I don't like the lube to fling all over my rear wheel so for that reason I use a wax spray, specifically Maxima. I lube every 500 miles or so then clean and lube every 1000 or so. Chain is holding up great and looks like new.

The wax sprays will pick up a little more dust but if you lube and clean them on a regular basis it will have no effect on how well they lube and do their job. There are people who will tell you that they lube every few thousand miles, never clean their chains and have zero problems. I'm too obsessive/compulsive for that. :laugh:

I use the Motul chain lube myself and am very happy with it.

I had Motul chain cleaner and chain lube (white). Cleaner was ok, but lube was so fluid so that all grease
relocated on exhaust system 😂

now using Motorex cleaner - nice, and my lovely Ipone lube. it is white and sticky. you see where it is applied and it stays on a chain

best for cleaning is a kerosine + brush

branded cleaners are for traveling

How often do you all clean your chain?

Whenever I ride. Scottoiler e oiler.
This thread has some interesting videos about chain lube. YMMV.
